Add another lawsuit to the list of money woes for Albuquerque Studios.

Mesa del Sol LLC is suing the owners, Pacifica Mesa Studios LLC, over costs associated with the installation of electrical services to the Mesa del Sol project, where ABQ Studios is located. The studios have been the home of the AMC series “Breaking Bad,” as well as films such as “The Book of Eli,” “Terminator Salvation” and “The Spirit.”

Mesa del Sol argues that under the purchase and sale agreement for the property, Pacifica is obligated to reimburse it for its share of payments made to Public Service Co. of New Mexico.

That comes to $278,567.23, according to the complaint filed in the Second Judicial District Court in Bernalillo County.

Mesa del Sol officials state they are entitled to recovery of punitive damages because Pacifica’s actions have been “willful, wanton and in reckless disregard of the rights of Mesa del Sol.”

Hal Katersky, a partner in Pacifica Mesa, said the company is trying to settle the issue with the master-planned community in south-central Albuquerque. Mike Daly, president of Mesa del Sol, was unavailable for comment.

Pacifica is also facing a foreclosure action by one of its lenders, Workers Realty Trust II LP, which claims Pacifica is in default. The sale is scheduled for July 23 in Albuquerque. Workers said it has not received payments since last summer and the balance due on its loan is $23,804,380.34. The maturity date was June 1, said Louis Puccini, an attorney with Puccini Law P.A., which is representing Workers.

Workers has a secondary mortgage on the real estate, said Puccini, but it has a first lien on the company. So if a sale went through, Workers would be controlling the business, Puccini said.

“If Workers became the owners of the corporation, then I assume Workers would install managers to run the business,” he added.

A previous sale was set for May 14, but that was halted at the request of the senior lender, Amalgamated Bank. Puccini said he did not know of any request to postpone by Amalgamated this time around. Officials with Amalgamated were unavailable for comment.

There were discussions after the first sale was halted. Katersky said those are continuing.

“We’re in discussions to see if this is a solvable situation, which we think it is and Amalgamated thinks it is too,” he said.

Pacifica is also behind on its property taxes, to the tune of $334,995.36. That amount was due April 10, said Bernalillo County Treasurer Patrick Padilla. It is now accruing a penalty of 1 percent per month, or $6,699.90, and interest of 1 percent per month, also $6,699.90. The penalty runs out after five months, but the interest will continue to accrue, Padilla said. Katersky said the property taxes will be paid.

The pending sale, slated to be held in Puccini’s office, would be a sale of the equity interest in Pacifica Mesa Studios LLC. That means whoever buys that interest would still be subject to the first and second mortgages on the property and any liabilities, said Matt Kim-Miller, a real estate attorney with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP who is not involved in the ABQ Studios lawsuit.

Albuquerque Studios opened in 2006, and the $100 million facility is one of the most advanced in the country, with at least half a million square feet and eight soundstages. On its website, Pacifica Ventures states it is working on two other studio projects in Philadelphia and Connecticut.

Eric Witt, media industries liaison for Gov. Bill Richardson, said he could not comment on the lawsuits or financing issues since those are private negotiations that do not involve the state, but he said the issue is not reflective of the film industry overall here.
